GF and I broke up 5 months ago, stayed friends, it's a little different because i helped raise her adopted girl the last 1.5 years, we've been getting along great and i'm def glad that we're friends and I know it's better that we don't get back together or anything, but I am kinda scared/nervous if me and/or her starting dating other people, we could lose contact for various reasons...Will I be ok staying? I'm in the process of applying to grad school and it's either stay here or move back to the state where i'm from where all my family/friends are.....

Whatever you do, don't be in and out and in and out of this child's life. Make a decision and stick with it.

i guess i'm just having a really hard time because I've grown so close to the child and she loves me a lot too and the thought of leaving her is very tough

Is it realistic for you to remain a big part of her life long-term?

That's understandable how you feel about the child but life does goes on. What if she eventually gets married and move on, and the new guy don't want you to be in their lives. I would put my future first in this case because you cant say how things will play out since you no longer date the child mother. As hard as it is, you will learn to live without the child in your life.
